From Calling to Closure: Stewarding Staff at Every Stage (Seattle, WA)
If you’re responsible for leading staff at a church, you’ve likely faced the tension of hiring the wrong person, avoiding hard conversations, or holding onto someone longer than you should have, simply because you weren’t sure how to handle it.
Most church leaders have never received training in people leadership. But the truth is: poor people decisions don’t just cause internal frustration; they can hurt your culture, stall your mission, and drive away your best people.
This practical, biblically grounded workshop is designed to help you get three of the hardest—and most impactful—parts of church leadership right:
Hiring. Coaching. Separations.
Led by Phil Goodman (Founder of Talent Realized, formerly HR leader at Subsplash), Kyle Evans (Principal and Fractional Executive Pastor at Talent Realized), and Michael Erisman (Global Chief People Officer, with experience at Microsoft, GE, DocuSign, and Pushpay), this session brings global HR expertise into the church context.
You’ll walk away with tools and frameworks you can use right away, including:
How to hire with clarity and alignment
How to coach with care and accountability
How to navigate staff transitions with integrity and confidence that protects the church and the person
LUNCH is provided as part of this 4-hour experience, so come hungry for both food and practical wisdom.
This isn’t about becoming “corporate.” It’s about becoming a faithful steward of the people God has entrusted to your care—and building a team culture your congregation can be proud of.
Join us and leave equipped to lead your people well—because when your staff thrives, your mission does too.
